Abstract

This paper establishes a rigorous mathematical framework for the Multi-Scale Negative Coupled System (MNCS), a dynamical model describing hierarchical state spaces with directed, sign-structured interactions. We address the stabilization of reaction-diffusion systems on bounded domains ΩRd\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d (d3d \le 3) subject to homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. A critical feature of this setting is the "zero-mode singularity," where the Laplacian operator possesses a trivial zero eigenvalue (λ0=0\lambda_0=0), providing no linear dissipation for the spatial mean. We rigorously prove the global well-posedness of the system and the existence of a compact global attractor A\mathcal{A} in the phase space H=(L2(Ω))N\mathbb{H}=(L^2(\Omega))^N. Utilizing the Moser-Alikakos iteration technique, we establish uniform L(Ω)L^\infty(\Omega) bounds, overcoming the lack of Sobolev embedding from H1H^1 into LL^\infty in three dimensions. These bounds enable the derivation of explicit upper estimates for the fractal dimension of the attractor via the Kaplan-Yorke trace formula. We show that the dimension scales as dF(A)max{0,KAγ}d/2d_F(\mathcal{A}) \sim \max\{0, \mathcal{K}_{\mathcal{A}}-\gamma\}^{d/2}, confirming that the negative coupling strength γ\gamma acts as a global regularizer that compresses the phase space. The theoretical results are validated using a stiff-stable Second-Order Exponential Time Differencing (ETD2) scheme with Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) to strictly enforce no-flux boundary conditions.
